Title: Novel technique of suppressing TBBU in high-energy ERLs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1046995

Energy recovery linacs (ERLs) are an emerging generation of accelerators that promise to revolutionize the fields of high-energy physics and photon sciences. These accelerators combine the advantages of linear accelerators with that of storage rings, and augur the delivery of electron beams of unprecedented power and quality. However, one potential weakness of these devices is transverse beam break-up instability that could severely limit the available beam current. In this paper, I propose a novel method of suppressing these dangerous effects using the chromaticity of the transverse motion. In this short paper I am able only to touch the surface of the method and a complete description of the method with all relevant derivations can be found in [1].
